That is my point. M/AMG buyers choosing their vehicle for its performance shouldn't feel at all threatened. Conversely, I can see those whom purchased their M/AMG because of the badge on the trunk feeling butt hurt because now there's one on a fwd vehicle.
there are people who bought it for the badge and some for the performance and some for both. if it's just performance you are comparing, a JDM will be a lot cheaper and at par on performance. people are different and it's up to what they value and compare
